Math Quarter 2 Project

Hey there! I’m Cess. It’s so nice to meet you!

Don’t you think the first quarters have been swift? I didn’t notice we are already at the 3rd Quarter. Not much has happened, but I vividly remember a lot of great memories.

I remember when we had to stay up late to answer sample problems. My friends and I didn’t review at all before that because we were busy playing games. It was really our fault that we got only a few hours of , sleep, but we managed to pull through.

There was also a time when all the things I reviewed were like thrown out of the window or something when I saw Sir Ric hugging a monobloc chair during a test. UMM HAHAHA. Thankfully, my usual all-nighter did not betray me.

Math Journey: SWIFT and FUN

My favorite topic is probably the tangent line of a function. There is something so satisfying in differentiation. I was oddly confident and interested in the topic. I enjoyed learning it very much.

On the other hand, I found learning about the common behaviors of non-differentiable functions challenging. One thing about myself that I know for sure is that I hate concepts, so I was bothered on how I would approach the topic. In the end, I didn’t bother reviewing it for a test and I regretted it not long after. But honestly, I wouldn’t say it was a challenge. Rather, it was a matter of preference.

--- no sample problem ---

All topics were easy to learn. In the first place, math has always been easy to learn, but it was not all a "ME" thing. Without a good teacher, a lot of us probably would have struggled with understanding the topics. In other words, sir is most of the reason why our journey has been such a breeze, so I think sir takes the crown for this one.

I might have already said it, but I was most interested in the tangent line of a function. Not gonna lie, I was very interested in the topic to the point that I differentiate functions for fun or to pass time. Maybe how I found it understandable made it interesting? I’m not sure, but I have always pursued things I am confident at. Well, it is a good thing, because now I can say it is the topic I have mastered the most.

By the way, the topic I have mastered the least is the limits of exponential and logarithmic functions. I hardly remember the lessons from the first quarter, and this topic is an extension of the first quarter. I little review might help me, but mastery-wise, I am not confident at all. As I answered the problem below, I was skeptical I did it correctly.

Lastly, to the question on how I would apply the topics in real life, honestly, I don’t have a clue. As a person living her almost carefree life in this world, the math that has been useful to my everyday work has only been basic arithmetic. But I am also a student. That's precisely why I aim to use this knowledge to achieve my goals and dreams. Math is a learned skill, after all. Moreover, math is a source of fun for me, so even if I don’t have a clue right now, I will know as long as I pursue math.

To my teachers, hi sir. First of all, your patience towards us is literally chef's kiss 💋. I’d like to say sorry for always submitting late. I am aware of how unacceptable irresponsibility is for a scholar, like maghahabol pa po kayo ng grade and all haha....... Yet you still take up your markers and teach us 😊. It is your dedication that have pushed me to do better. I cannot promise you po that this won't happen again, but I swear to myself, I will do better. Thank you po for being our teacher <33

To my classmates, or specifically to my friends, thank you guys. Kung hindi ko kayo mahuhuli magreview, hindi na rin ako siguro magrereview. HAHAHA. Wala ng long messages, alam niyo na toh.  

And to myself, erm, where do I start. Anyare na sa New Year’s resolution mo. Natapakan mo ba? You have the tendency to be ambitious with your outputs. But when you do not finish your work on time, you tend to neglect your work because “it wouldn’t matter anymore if you submitted later.” Girl, ayusin mo pa. You're better than this. Don’t worry, it will all work out.
